ESG Principles and Philosophy

ESG considerations are a core value, which the company embraces across the organization. Specifically, the company integrates ESG through (i) responsible business practices and (ii) industry and other collaboration activities. We believe that incorporating ESG factors into our business management can help mitigate risk and enhance quality. We recognize there isn’t a one-size-fits all approach to ESG integration; rather, we strive to employ best practices and encourage others we engage with to do the same. We try to avoid too narrowly defining ESG as it evolves and our company expands its business and practices, however, we generally evaluate ESG considerations as follows:


ESG Areas of Focus:

Environmental: ingredient, product and packaging sourcing and recyclability, safe quality food production, finished product, ingredients and packing materials handling & storage, product waste minimization and environmentally responsible disposal of product by-product (grease), installation and use of advanced technologies to enhance operating efficiencies and reduce water and electricity usage. Social: civil and human rights, diversity and equitable opportunities, staff recruitment and development, staff compensation and benefits, safe workplace practices, community engagement and support.
